Problems solved by technology

However, it cannot operate on nanoscale particles, and the cost is high. For details, see: Advances in Lasers and Optoelectronics, 2007, 44(6): 15-26
[0005] The above-mentioned optical tweezers systems all belong to the structure of discrete devices, which have the disadvantages of large volume, complex structure, and high cost. At the same time, they have low ability to capture molecules on the nanoscale or submicron scale, and poor sensitivity.

Abstract

The invention provides metamaterial-based optical tweezers. By preparing a hole array with a periodic structure on one or more layers of sandwich structure including a metal layer, an insulating layer and another metal layer, the optical tweezers can have magnetic dipoles, and under the irradiation of a light source, a negative optical force along the illumination direction is generated, so micro-particles can be captured and selected accurately. With the magnetic dipoles, the optical tweezers can capture the micro-particles under the action of a low-power light source, and influence and interference of the optical tweezers on the activity of a biological sample caused by over-high power of the light source are reduced. The optical tweezers can have the characteristics of small volume, large capturing force, high stability and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of detection of biological samples (such as proteins, DNA and antibodies, etc.), relates to an optical tweezers based on left-handed materials, and can be applied to disease treatment and diagnosis and biomedicine. Background technique [0002] The development of life sciences provides efficient and convenient means for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases, but it also faces new challenges, that is, how to manipulate micro-sized tissues, cells, drugs, biomacromolecules and bioactive molecules, etc., to provide Instant, online, accurate and comprehensive analysis. In order to solve these problems, people try to organically combine the laser microbeam optical trap effect with bioengineering, microelectronics technology, and optoelectronics, thus forming a new hotspot in the field of biomedicine: optical tweezers technology. [0003] In 1986, Arthur Ashkin, a scientist at Bell Laboratories in the United S...
